Losing Grip... Re-analysed.
<--Back

Are you aware of what you make me feel, baby
BRITNEY LIVES!!
!
Right now I feel invisible to you, like I'm not real

Oh, how I wish you were invisible.

Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you?

Nobody enjoys being trapped in a headlock by a whining adolescent
.
Why'd you turn away? Here's what I have to say…

You know, even for someone without the slightest modicum of intelligence, you couldn't have said anything more witless
.

I was left to cry there

"Sk8er" girls don't cry, you idiot
.
Waiting outside there

Waiting outside the Church getting ready to 'sing' "Jerusalem", I think you'll find

Grinning with a lost stare

Do you want to see my impression of "grinning with a lost stare"? Think Jaz Coleman in a mental asylum after having endured weeks of therapy

That's when I decided...

TELL ME! I am riveted by your story. *yawn
*

Why should I care?

Yes, we know you don't care about what other people think of you *cough*. You can stop telling us now
.
'Cause you weren't there when I was scared, I was so alone

I sympathize. If I had a voice like yours, I would be terrified of being left alone with it (because, you know, I might just accidentally blurt out a line from the hymn book, and then my eardrums would be forever perforated)
.
You, you need to listen

I think not. I will have no ears left to listen with
.
I'm starting to trip, I'm losing my grip, and I'm in this thing alone.

If only you could lose your grip whilst hanging from a cliff above the Niagra Falls..
.

Am I just some chick you place beside you, to take somebody's place

Probably
.
When you turn around can you recognize my face?

Sadly, your face can be recognized everywhere. It won't be when I skewer your eyeballs out though
.
You used to love me you used to hug me

That's nice. But you don't go to Kindergarten anymore, remember
?
But that wasn't the case, everything wasn't okay

I think it may have had something to do with your square glasses. *squints
*

I was left to cry there

I will not go over this agai
n.
Waiting outside there

Where? *Grins with a lost stare
*
Grinning with a lost stare

OoOoOoO…
.
That's when I decided...

Still as riveting as ever


Blah Blah Blah….

Cryin' out loud I'm cryin' out loud

We know you desperately want Dashboard Confessional to write a song about you… Next time, try not to make it so obvious
.
Cryin' out loud I'm cryin' out loud

Still Cryin
'
Open your eyes

If I had my eyes closed, do you think I would be writing this
?
Open up wide

MY EYES ARE ALREADY OPEN
.

Blah Blah Blah…

Why should I care?

How should I know
?
'Cause you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone

Unless you stop singing sometime soon, you will always be alone
.
Why should I care?

Now is the time to start pounding your head furiously against the wall in a highly agitated manner
.
If you don't care, then I don't care, we're not going anywhere

If you don't care, why the hell did you write a song about it?
Wow. What a complete waste of time
.

Finally, having been a skater in school, do you have any tips for someone pulling a backside ollie kickflip ? "Yeah, I said I was a skater in high school, but that doesn't mean I am one now !"

  (That means she doesn't know.
)
